Ha.

I saw The Evens at this old firehouse that had been converted to an art gallery here in Richmond 2 years ago. A few songs in (after having us all sit down on the floor because there is no raised stage), Ian asks if anyone has a question and this dopey looking kid sticks his hand up and they call on him and he goes "Can you turn up the toms a bit? They're pretty quiet in the mix." And Amy goes "Uh, there's no sound system… I can give them a pep talk and tell them to perk up if you like." They rode the kid pretty hard about it the rest of the show.

One of my good friends now hates Sebadoh after that show.  Their noise assualt at the end of the show was too much for him.  I thought it was great.

That show was all kinds of awesome. They played everything anyone could've hoped to hear. Too bad it was so poorly attended.

I enjoyed the light crowd, gave me room to breathe.  That show and the last Low show there have been two of my favorite club shows, crowd wise at least.
